Two Stories in Silver Spring 

UrbanTurf's favorite part of this Silver Spring home is the expansive living room, which doubles as a sunroom and includes two sets of French doors that lead to the front porch and back patio area. A large wrap-around kitchen has light blue cabinetry and a breakfast area, and an additional living room on the main floor features a fireplace and overhead wooden beams for architectural intrigue. Previously attic space, the top floor was converted into a primary suite with a sizeable walk-in closet and full bathroom. The semi-finished basement has lots of storage space and room for a workout studio.
